In 1974, a new coronavirus was discovered from U.S. military dogs, [142] and was named by ICTV in 1991 as Canine coronavirus. PTGV, FIPV, and dog virus were shown to have apparent relatedness by the early 1990s. [143] [144] In 1998, a study revealed that FCoV originates from genetic recombination with Canine coronavirus.

There is other stem cell research that does not involve the destruction of a human embryo, and such research involves adult stem cells, amniotic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. In January 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration gave clearance to Geron Corporation for the first clinical trial of an embryonic stem-cell-based ...
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a type of coronavirus, causes avian infectious bronchitis. [131] The virus is of concern to the poultry industry because of the high mortality from infection, its rapid spread, and its effect on production. [127] The virus affects both meat production and egg production and causes substantial economic loss. [132]
Retroviruses and stem cells were mixed, after which the viruses inserted the gene into the stem cell chromosomes. Stem cells containing the working ADA gene were injected into Andrew's blood. Injections of the ADA enzyme were also given weekly. For four years T cells (white blood cells), produced by stem cells, made ADA enzymes using the ADA ...
Although the quality and quantity of antibody production by a potential vaccine is intended to neutralize the COVID‑19 infection, a vaccine may have an unintended opposite effect by causing antibody-dependent disease enhancement (ADE), which increases the virus attachment to its target cells and might trigger a cytokine storm if a vaccinated ...
The world's first COVID-19 drug designed by generative AI is approved for human use, with clinical trials expected to begin in China. The new drug, ISM3312, is developed by Insilico Medicine. [389] A new AI algorithm developed by Baidu is shown to boost the antibody response of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines by 128 times. [390]
California and Florida had similar cumulative COVID-19 death rates in the first few months of the pandemic. But Florida's rate accelerated faster starting in summer 2020 as the state more quickly ...
The key properties of a stem cell were first defined by Ernest McCulloch and James Till at the University of Toronto and the Ontario Cancer Institute in the early 1960s. They discovered the blood-forming stem cell, the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), through their pioneering work in mice. McCulloch and Till began a series of experiments in which ...
